We developers can now confirm this. Ubuntu users reported this earlier, Debian user can now also experience such a sluggishness.
Reproduce on Debian:
- add squeeze-backports archive to your system
- install iceweasel (esr version)
This will drag in a libcairo from squeeze backports that is very probably the cause for making some applications very slow within X2Go sessions.
Libcairo is used in all GTK applications and is a layer between GTK and the rendering backend (X11, OpenGL, ...). With some recent version of libcairo the sluggishness got introduced...
Would it help to mask/block the libcairo from squeeze-backports? Or test with a newer version from wheezy? Maybe I can squeeze that in next week... When blocking from squeeze-backports you block out latest iceweasel/icedove and many other libcairo/gtk based packages as well.
iceweasel and icedove are coming not coming from squeeze-backports here I think. (My co-admin added some repositories so we get all the freshest (and untranslated:) ice*-apps.)
For wheezy, an installation without the slow libcairo is rather unpossible.
So the problem is any version newer than that in debian stable?
Have a nice weekend,
